Hi, I'm Lo. I'm a Scandinavian artist and illustrator. I like watercolours and mushrooms. Mushrooms are cool. 🍄 https://knyttir.com/

Some of you may not be familiar with Näcken/Nøkken, but all you really need to know about it is that if you ever come across a naked dude playing violin in the water - Do not approach!

Haven't painted in a while. Been too busy building my greenhouse. I was not aware that I was going to actually build it when I made the drawing, but here we are. Quite proud of myself. Now I just have to figure out how to build a door...

Photo of a greenhouse under construction. It is painted green with a lean-to roof. It is surrounded by trees in the background, grass in the foreground, and there are long raised beds on its sides. Plus a bonus of building materials and tools scattered around. Sorry for the mess.A drawing of a similar greenhouse, only longer and not so messy.

I'm very low on inspiration regarding my usual painting subjects.. On the other hand I'm very excited about garden design, so some painting does get done.

Brother Mort liked the peace and solitude of his herb garden but even so a visit from Sister Dot and her latest tranche of dirty jokes rarely went unappreciated

While we're on the subject of houses, here are two little kiosks that live in Helsinki. The plan was to relax and make a few easy and simplified paintings.. I did not follow the plan. I drew all of the details...

I know the Internet is for cats, so I'd like to announce that these two idiots are doing fine. They lost their mother at 6 weeks old, so I am their father now. I think I'm doing okay. They don't know their names yet, but do respond to "cat boys". The dog is offended by their presence..

The worst part about not going to the beach so often anymore, is that when I do, all the stones look cool and must be inspected. What used to be a 40 minute walk has taken almost two hours. The dog is very tired. My pockets are very heavy.

Less than a month to go to my exhibition! I realised I didn't have a proper artist bio to display, but I hate writing those, so I made this thing instead. It basically says that I'm very good at chopping wood, very bad at dancing, and I like rocks and mushrooms. That should be enough, right?
